Academic Outcome Data

The initial placement need is to provide a safe and trusting environment for the child, which will help them learn to self-regulate, increase their attention, reduce impulsivity, and reorganize their patterns of reacting. Relationship-related problems are worked on using the NW BOCES staff and a psychologist. Each student has an individualized service plan developed by their IEP team. As youth begin to feel comfortable and safe in a stable environment, they begin to develop social skills, learn impulse control, make academic improvements, and integrate into a home and school community.
Written communication helps keep families and placement agencies informed. Reports include: weekly psychological reports, quarterly report cards, IEP reports, monthly staffing, monthly treatment plan and discharge plan updates, annual Woodcock-Johnson Academic Assessment Achievement, annual state assessment, twice-a-year NWEA (MAP) testing, and STAR Math and STAR Reading quarterly assessments.
Achievement Goal
Annually, students will improve their Northwest Evaluation Association (MAP) scores equal to or greater than the average HSCSD#1 district rates of improvement.
Data indicate students are making significant progress in academic areas while they are in the NW BOCES Treatment Program.
Behavioral Goal
At least 80% of the youth who complete the treatment program will successfully integrate into the home community and have no further residential placements.
Since 1998, of the youth who have completed the program at NW BOCES, 83% of those youth have not had to re-enter any residential facility (data collected for up to a 3-year period after exit).
